Meet Port Mac local Jasmine Ferguson (Jas), future ParaMatilda.
When she was born, Doctors said that Jas would never walk or talk. Now she's training with the CommBank ParaMatildas, the national women's football team for athletes with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, or symptoms resulting from stroke. She's also a role model for girls in sport, people with disability, and indigenous athletes.
In today's episode we talk about cerebral palsy, low vision, football and para sports, and why Jas says that her disability is "the best thing that ever happened."
Also, Sam Kerr, if you're listening, let's have dinner...!
